Check the Mandriva Linux section , I think it'll be in the /backports repo. not /contrib ..

Good luck :)

What theme are u using? My smee emerald theme doesent look like that when I apply it.

And how to do that nice panel like that??

I was incorrect on Smee being my emerald theme. I actually set Smee as the GTK for transparency support on the panel. I then use the Droid Theme by lassekongo (who makes many nice clean themes btw).

The panel is a trick really. There is no panel there at all. It was acutally something devised by lasse as well. You just take your background and adjust the resolution to be the same size as your display and add a semi-transparent bar where the panel would be. After that you would set the panel to be completely transparent.

Instructions here.

Yeah I figured it out, thanx:) Cool trick!

PCLinuxOS (Gnome Zen Mini)

Theme: Equinox Evolution Light

Icons: Faenza Cupertino

Wallpaper: Relaxing Clean

Programs & tweaks: Removed text on desktop icons, tweaked panel, added Dockbar-X for superbar in the panel, tweaked gnome panel's clock, added Avant Window Navigator for "wingpanel," changed font to Droid Sans. I think that's pretty much it. Plus changed the invisible stuff like login screen, bootsplash. PCLOS is a great distro, albeit really, really ugly one by default.

Pretty slick setup, despite a few minor grievances:

I'd center the icons on the bottom panel, and I'd resize the desktop icons. Plus, the elementary style seems a little too plain; maybe try something like Atolm/Orta instead?

Other than that, I love the "Cupertino" suite you found. I might actually give in and install a PPA to try them out, even though I hate third-party PPAs.

EDIT: I'd also remove the date from the clock area to make the panel thinner.

    • Luck you. I get that pop up even after leaving the site for a bit and do some other surfing around and then come back.
    • It depends if they can market it to hipsters, then they might hold a niche.
    • No Man's Sky Beacon update overhauls settlements and player overseer duties by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Hello Games is back with another major update to its sci-fi space survival game No Man's Sky. This time, it has targeted settlement systems. The title will now let players be overseers who manage settlements across multiple planets while also discovering towns run entirely by robotic lifeforms. Space-faring players can now be the overseers of four settlements across the universe, with the job being offered to them after completing a unique objective. "Govern your settlers wisely and invest in their infrastructure to enable each settlement to flourish, producing lucrative resources, and becoming an invaluable base of operations throughout your journey," explains the studio. Settlement management has also been completely reworked with this update. Hello Games says that players will now have more important construction and upgrade choices, as each building has its own calculated contribution to the happiness, population, and productivity of its settlement. These can benefit the player via a wide range of resource production options. Not only that, each settler will even have their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and skills that will change how they work in their community. Players can find these by simply talking to any settler they meet on a planet. When a citizen dispute comes up, the number of choices offered to the overseer has been increased as well. As for the robotic settlements, they can only be found by scanning planets with specialist technology. Once found, these Autophage settlements can be taken over as well, letting players be the overseer and take care of the scrap metal-built locals. Other additions to this update include Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) upscaling tech support on PC, more voice types for player characters, better snapping when building structures, and cross-save support across all platforms. Don't forget that No Man's Sky will soon be arriving on a brand-new platform too. The title will be a day-one launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. Find the complete patch notes for No Man's Sky 5.7 Beacon Update over here.
